Chapter 486

line: "In the mid-tier battlefield, as more and more Honored Douluo grew fatigued and released their Martial Soul True Bodies, the members of the Hands Protecting the Nation all wore expressions of victory within grasp." No Chinese.

Contains: Middle Layer Battlefield, Honored Douluo, Martial Soul True Body, Three Hands Protecting the Nation.

fine.

No special names.

fine.

No.

fine.

line:

It can be seen that she directly used all of her speed-type soul skills; at this point her speed had increased tremendously, to the extent that even Ultimate Douluo Du Bu Si could hardly keep up.

Contains: Du Bu Si (a person's name), Ultimate Douluo, and soul skill.

In response, the members of the Hands Protecting the Nation all showed contemptuous expressions.

Again "Three Hands Protecting the Nation" -> "Hands Protecting the Nation"

What good is speed if they cannot break the Linked Soul Conductor Shield? No matter how fast, they are merely annoying flies.

Contains: Linked Soul Conductor Shield.

Indeed, as they thought, as long as they had the Linked Soul Conductor Shield, Song Lao's speed would be useless against them; at most they just needed to ignore her for a short while.

Again same.

But as they thought, the premise is 'under the condition that they cannot break the Linked Soul Conductor Shield'.

Crack!

Crack!

With a sudden crisp sound, the Linked Soul Conductor Shield of the Ri Yue Royal Soul Engineer Corps, which could be called invincible, suddenly shattered like glass.

Contains: Ri Yue Royal Soul Engineer Corps and Linked Soul Conductor Shield.

「？」 - just a question mark. We'll output as "?"? Actually we need to translate the line: it's a question mark inside quotes. We'll output the same: "?"? Probably just "?" inside quotes? The line is 「？」. We'll output as "?"? Keep same punctuation: "?"? We'll output as "?"? Actually we need to output the translation of the line. The line contains a question mark inside Chinese quotes. We'll translate as "?"? Probably just "?"? We'll output as "?"? But we need to keep the quotes? The line is 「？」. The translation could be "?"? We'll output as "?"? I'd output as "?"? But to be safe, output as "?"? Actually we should keep the same punctuation: "?"? The Chinese quotes are just punctuation; we can replace with English quotes? The instruction: translate faithfully, not add or omit. The line is 「？」. That's a question mark inside Chinese quotation marks. In English we could render as "?"? Probably just "?"? I'd output as "?"? But we need to output the line as a single line with 【12】 prefix. We'll output: 【12】 "?"? Actually we need to include the quotes? The original had Chinese quotes; we could keep them as is? But we are translating to English; we could keep the question mark and maybe drop the quotes. Safer: output as "?"? I'll output as "?"? Let's think: If we output just "?" we lose the quotes but they are not meaningful content. The instruction: "Render EXACTLY what the source says — same meaning, same information, nothing added." The quotes are punctuation, not semantic content. It's okay to drop them? Might be considered adding or omitting? Safer to keep them as English quotes: "?"? We'll output as "?"? Actually we could output as "?"? I'll output as "?"? I'll decide to output as "?"? Let's see later.

The situation happened too suddenly, leaving the members of the Ri Yue Royal Soul Engineer Corps dazed for a moment.

Contains: Ri Yue Royal Soul Engineer Corps.

Until just now, Song Lao had launched attack after attack against them, each time requiring only a bit more energy to easily block her attacks.

Contains: Song Lao.

But why would this happen...

They didn't have time to figure out the answer.

Because it was only then that they realized that, at some point, Du Bu Si, Ye Yu, Heavenly Sun Douluo, and a series of other Super Douluo had already surrounded them.

Contains: Du Bu Si, Ye Yu, Heavenly Sun Douluo, and Super Douluo.

At this moment, facing the Ri Yue Royal Soul Engineer Corps that had lost the protection of their Linked Soul Conductor Shield, they showed no mercy, light filled the sky as they each unleashed their strongest soul skills, attacking those soul engineers who had just annoyed them greatly.

Contains: Linked Soul Conductor Shield, Ri Yue Royal Soul Engineer Corps, soul skill, and Soul Engineer.

Although with the aid of humanoid soul conductors, all members of the Ri Yue Royal Soul Engineer Corps had reached the rank of Soul Douluo, they had in fact been forcibly elevated by soul technology; their main role was to enhance the power of the Linked Soul Conductor, and their individual combat strength could not compare to that of a true Soul Douluo, nor even to a Soul Sage, being only relatively weak.

Contains: Ri Yue Royal Soul Engineer Corps, humanoid soul conductor, Soul Douluo, Linked Soul Conductor, and Soul Sage.

When faced with the full-force eruption of dozens of Super Douluo, they cried out in agony as almost all of them were caught within the range of the explosive attack.

Contains: Super Douluo.

Not only them, the Fire Phoenix Soul Engineer Corps and the Imperial Dragon Soul Engineer Corps also fell into the same situation.

Contains: Fire Phoenix Soul Engineer Corps and Imperial Dragon Soul Engineer Corps.

Only then did they realize that, without noticing, the positions of the Hands Protecting the Nation had drawn together during the recent battle.

Contains: Hands Protecting the Nation.

Adding Song Lao's blinding speed that left no time to react, after the Ri Yue Royal Soul Engineer Corps met disaster, they hadn't even realized what had happened to their teammates before their own Linked Soul Conductor Shield shattered as well.

Contains: Song Lao, Ri Yue Royal Soul Engineer Corps, and Linked Soul Conductor Shield.

Similarly, on this side the Honored Douluo also immediately began erupting with their strongest soul skills, just like the Super Douluo battlefield.

Contains: Super Douluo, Honored Douluo, and soul skill.

If the members of the Ri Yue Royal Soul Engineer Corps could barely hold on, then the members of the two Beast King Soul Engineer Corps were far worse.

Contains: Ri Yue Royal Soul Engineer Corps and Beast King Soul Engineer Corps.

The entry standard for the Beast King Soul Engineer Corps is only four rings, and the quality of the humanoid soul conductors they possess is far inferior to that of the Ri Yue Royal Soul Engineer Corps, at most able to elevate four-ring soul engineers to the level of Soul Emperor. Although there are many high-ranking soul engineers, even if you add up all the soul engineers of rank eight or higher from the two Beast King Soul Engineer Corps, the total barely exceeds fifty.

Contains: Beast King Soul Engineer Corps, humanoid soul conductor, Ri Yue Royal Soul Engineer Corps, Soul Emperor, and Soul Engineer.

Yet they had to face the full-force eruption of over a hundred Honored Douluo unleashing their Martial Soul True Bodies.

Contains: Honored Douluo and Martial Soul True Body.

They had no time to react before nearly all of them perished beneath the Honored Douluo's eruption.

Contains: Honored Douluo.

This was no longer a battle; it was practically a one-sided massacre.

When the few surviving high-ranking soul engineers finally endured this wave of eruption, the two Beast King Soul Engineer Corps had no soul masters below eight rings left; originally numbering nearly a thousand combined, their ranks had dwindled to fewer than fifty.

Contains: Beast King Soul Engineer Corps, Soul Master, Soul Engineer Corps, and eight rings.

They frantically activated the Linked Soul Conductor, forcibly shaking off the Honored Douluo who had just finished erupting and had not yet regained strength.

Contains: Linked Soul Conductor and Honored Douluo.

But by then the power of the Linked Soul Conductor had already waned to who knows what extent, making it impossible to again block the Honored Douluo's siege as before.

Contains: Linked Soul Conductor and Honored Douluo.

Compared to them, the performance of the Ri Yue Royal Soul Engineer Corps was far better, with at least about one-fifth of its members surviving.

Contains: Ri Yue Royal Soul Engineer Corps.

They were quick-eyed and quick-handed, reactivating the Linked Soul Conductor Shield to blast away the Super Douluo and firmly trap the deeply entrenched Du Bu Si.

Contains: Linked Soul Conductor Shield, Super Douluo, and Du Bu Si.

All-out attack!

Contains: All-out attack!

The vice dean of the Ri Yue Royal Soul Engineer Corps roared with all his might, launching an enormous black bolt that shot straight at Du Bu Si.

Contains: Ri Yue Royal Soul Engineer Corps, Vice Dean, and Du Bu Si.

His mind worked with incredible speed; their losses were already irreversible, so the only hope was to first eliminate Du Bu Si, the enemy's strongest, in order to barely turn the tide.

Contains: Du Bu Si.

The plan sounded good, but he made two huge mistakes.

First, he should not have attacked Du Bu Si first; instead, he ought to have prioritized Song Lao, who possesses unknown attack methods—with her present, the Linked Soul Conductor Shield is as flimsy as paper and cannot hold for long.

Contains: Du Bu Si, Song Lao, and Linked Soul Conductor Shield.

Second, he truly should not have underestimated any Ultimate Douluo.

Contains: Ultimate Douluo.

A golden light suddenly flared, and Du Bu Si laughed maniacally, actually breaking free of the Ri Yue Royal Soul Engineer Corps' restraints with sheer force.

Contains: Du Bu Si and Ri Yue Royal Soul Engineer Corps.

Afterward, he clasped his hands before his chest, condensing a dark green sphere, and hurled it at the black light beam; upon contact, both annihilated simultaneously.

This sight left the members of the Ri Yue Royal Soul Engineer Corps dumbfounded.

Contains: Ri Yue Royal Soul Engineer Corps.

The remaining members of the Ri Yue Royal Soul Engineer Corps were all those who, with the aid of humanoid soul conductors, had reached the rank of Honored Douluo; logically, the combined soul power of dozens of Honored Douluo should be impossible for humans to withstand, so how could Du Bu Si break through their attacks? Before they could regain their senses, a crisp sound rang out again, and the Linked Soul Conductor Shield they had just formed shattered once more.

Contains: Ri Yue Royal Soul Engineer Corps, humanoid soul conductor, Honored Douluo, soul power, Du Bu Si, and Linked Soul Conductor Shield.

Song Lao's figure flashed by; to the people of the Ri Yue Empire, her azure silhouette resembled a grim reaper hanging in the heavens, filling them with dread.

Contains: Song Lao and Ri Yue Empire.

The Super Douluo once again emitted dazzling light.

Contains: Super Douluo.

Looking around, the Fire Phoenix and Imperial Dragon could barely defend themselves, while Zhongli Wu's evil soul masters were tightly held off by Ye Yu leading more than ten Super Douluo.

Contains: Fire Phoenix, Imperial Dragon, Zhongli Wu, Evil Soul Master, Ye Yu, and Super Douluo.

This time, the Ri Yue Royal Soul Engineer Corps could no longer withstand the Super Douluo's collective eruption.

Contains: Ri Yue Royal Soul Engineer Corps and Super Douluo.

The Ri Yue Empire's greatest trump card, the Ri Yue Royal Soul Engineer Corps, fell here.

Contains: Ri Yue Empire and Ri Yue Royal Soul Engineer Corps.
